Kurzbeschreibung: Sometimes we swim, sometimes we float, other times we are drowning. Its not always easy to know which is which. It is the ten-year anniversary of her sisters death, and Nia is grappling with her grief, and balancing the complicated relationships weaving through her life. There is smart and sexy Temi; Melvin, her teenage love; and her new yet intimate friendship with Rahul and Crystal. But looming large over everything is her mother SuSu, whose battle with bipolar disorder continues to cast a profound shadow over Nia. Delving deep into the intricate tapestry of Nias life, Like Water Like Sea is a poignant tale of self-discovery and resilience, sexuality and motherhood, and falling apart to become truly whole. "A delicate tale unlike any other, told with a tenderness, subtlety and restraint, in enchanting prose that only someone with mastery like Olumide could showcase." Troy Onyango, author of For What Are Butterflies Without Their Wings
